Identification
Name Efalizumab
Accession Number DB00095 (BIOD00074, BTD00074)
Type biotech
Description Humanized IgG1 kappa isotype monoclonal antibody that binds to human CD11a. Efalizumab has a molecular weight of approximately 150 kilodaltons and is produced in a Chinese hamster ovary mammalian cell expression system in a nutrient medium containing the antibiotic gentamicin.

Pharmacology
Indication For the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
Mechanism of action Efalizumab binds to CD11a, a subunit of leukocyte function antigen-1 (LFA-1), which is expressed on all leukocytes. As a result efalizumab decreases cell surface expression of CD11a.
Absorption Average efalizumab bioavailability following subcutaneous administration was estimated at 30 to 50%.
